Sphingomyelin synthase 1 enhances BCR signaling to promote lupus-like autoimmune response.

TL;DR: Data suggest that SMS1 is involved in lupus-like autoimmunity via regulating BCR signal transduction and B cell activation and that the SMS1 mRNA level in B cells of SLE patients was increased and positively correlated with the serum anti-dsDNA level, IgG and globulin titers.

Associations of lymphocyte subpopulations with clinical phenotypes and long-term outcomes in juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus

TL;DR: JSLE patients exhibited altered lymphocyte subsets, which were strongly associated with clinical phenotypes and long-term outcomes, and predictors of remission on therapy were high Tregs, high absolute lymphocyte count, direct Coombs test positivity, and LN absence at enrollment.
Journal ArticleDOI

The T Cell Receptor Repertoire in Neuropsychiatric Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

TL;DR: The TCR repertoire in lupus prone mice is not uniform between target organs, and suggests that T cells are specifically recruited into the choroid plexus of MRL/lpr mice.

LncRNA MEG3 regulates the interplay between Th17 and Treg cells in Behçet's disease and systemic lupus erythematosus.

TL;DR: In this paper , the role of lncRNA MEG3 in the interplay between the anti-inflammatory Treg/transcription factor forkhead box P3 (FOXP3) axis versus the pro-inflammatory Th17/retinoic acid orphan receptor-γt (RORγt) axis was investigated.

Elevated Circulating Interleukin-17 Levels in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Meta-analysis.

TL;DR: SLE patients have higher circulating IL-17 levels, which is influenced by ethnic, age and disease duration, literature quality and measurements, whereas no significant change was observed in other subgroups.

The 1982 revised criteria for the classification of systemic lupus erythematosus

TL;DR: The 1971 preliminary criteria for the classification of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were revised and updated to incorporate new immunologic knowledge and improve disease classification and showed gains in sensitivity and specificity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neutrophil extracellular traps kill bacteria

TL;DR: It is described that, upon activation, neutrophils release granule proteins and chromatin that together form extracellular fibers that bind Gram-positive and -negative bacteria, which degrade virulence factors and kill bacteria.
Book

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

TL;DR: Contributions are gathered from physicians and researchers from North America, South America, Europe, and Asia that highlight several important and/or novel aspects of the molecular pathogenesis, clinical organ involvement, and experimental therapies in this prototypical systemic autoimmune disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interferon-inducible gene expression signature in peripheral blood cells of patients with severe lupus

TL;DR: Global gene expression profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells is used to identify distinct patterns of gene expression that distinguish most SLE patients from healthy controls, and identify a subgroup of patients who may benefit from therapies targeting the IFN pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interferon and Granulopoiesis Signatures in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Blood

TL;DR: Microarray analysis of blood cells reveals that immature granulocytes may be involved in SLE pathogenesis, and the IFN signature confirms the central role of this cytokine in Sle, using oligonucleotide microarrays.
